Lyrics
WHOLE WORLD AWAY
She?s a second wind storm that tears away doors
She?s taboo and torn between white flags and wars
She?s a chesire grin doll and her good china walls
Rise when she falls
I know she?d give it all to me if she wasn?t so afraid.
How can I reach her? She?s a whole world away.
She paints the nails in her hands blood red and bland
She?s tight lipped and tanned and buries herself in the sand
She?s crowding my halls with her cold waterfalls
She crawls walking tall
I know she?d give it all to me if she wasn?t so afraid
How can I reach her? She?s a whole world away.
And I?m burning yeah I?m burning through my cold pride.
She?s been running, she?s been running away.
I?ve been burning, I?ve been burning
And when her sun breaks black into white
Clouds appear to always get in the way.
How can I reach her? She?s a whole world away.
Her God?s on her case and she?s leading the chase
With a stone cold face, she?s found without a trace
She?s pink lipstick in malls, a royal crown brawl
She?s flood and stalled
I know she?d give it all to me if she wasn?t so afraid
How can I reach her? She?s a whole world away.
